Very easy to install and a clean simple layout.

There was a couple of features that I made some changes on because it wasn't set up the way I liked it. But overall if you are looking for a simple to use PMS, you can't go past this one.

Unfortunately, it is not setup for CB but it is easy enough to change to make it usuable with CB login.

Below are a couple of changes I made to my copy of the component.

1. In the user list this component was showing all users, incuding users the were blocked or had not yet activated yet. This is certainly not satisfactory as members would be still able to send PMS to those users. So, I went into the code and changed that to remove those blocked or non active users. Very easy to do.

2. I needed to be able to have a link in my user menu to the component. Your setup used an additional module to display the link to the PMS and also to advise the user that they had a Private Message. I found this not satisfactory so I uninstalled the module and added a small bit of code to the CB Login module so it displayed the "You have 1 Private Message" with a little mail image.

Overall though a very good component.

Very nice extension. Installed in less than 5 minutes. I was also able to translate it in my native language pretty quick. Thank you for this great piece of software!

Excellent work! We need more ajax :D

good extension, but not perfect :) i have problem with Cyrillic :)

this is a great little system that works straight away without bugs and loads of adjustments. It's basic but good and the developer is very helpful!

I tried some others but got javascript errors and it was all very time consuming.

Great work.

I mean it works very well and fast. I'm terrible myself at creating good designs so I do wish it came with a default template to it. It's definitely very simple even in it's "look" but I won't count off for the fact that it works beautifully. I like the way it looks up users with ease and recognizes comma delimited usernames! I highly recommend this if you're looking for a very simple solution for messaging on your site. A note to the author: you should set it up to use templates and this thing will be phenomenal! I can only imagine what people could make this design look like...

Great component! Simple, elegant, does the job.

Would be great to have the usermeta done as part of this component install, so that the function is integrated rather than having to do another install. But otherwise, great component.

As the title suggest very quick and easy to install and started using straight away. The problem I had is that once having sent a message to someone, they click to go to the inbox and the screen is totally blank. Not really sure what has gone wrong. If I can get resolved a thumbs up from me.

I got to say. This messaging system is just fabulous. Simple, easy and lightweight, what else do you want?

Thanks for making this messaging system Sander.

Maybe it's just me (and if it is, do let me know) but, the inbox field is shoved way down at the bottom of the page, even if I open it in a new window, none of my users would ever think of scrolling all the way down there to find their messages. It might also be nice if the component provided a list of the users on the site rather than guessing as you type. Clearly the component is aware of the names of the users, a nice scrolling box with the names of the users might be a good addition but, with this bug about the inbox being all the way down there, I can't make use of this component at all.

Message for Joomla! v 1.5 mailbox system is a perfect addition to a social networking or group blog site, allowing members to exchange private messages. It is integrated with Kevin Devine's UserMeta extension so that those members who prefer to turn this functionality off are able to do so.

The mailbox system is easy to use. A bit of javascript provides easy lookup on username and name, and enables messages to multiple members. It is easy to navigate as you send, review, respond to or delete messages.

This extension has been constructed specifically for Joomla! v 1.5 using the MVC architecture (which means template overrides are possible) and utilizes security tokens in the forms to prevent CSRF. Excellent work!

The simple private messaging system that i'd ever used.

Only problem I'm having is that I can't seem to read received messages in Firefox. I can read them in Internet Explorer. Using Firefox 2.0.0.11.
